What inspired you to start writing?
Marvel comics, and old cartoons, I usually when I was unsatisfied with the ending or disappointment to the outcome of the story I began to create my own version on my end that lead me to write my own stories.
What’s your favorite book that you’ve written, and why?
So far Dunamys Adrift, I enjoy this journey exploring every single planet of the solar system. Something I really wanted to do since I was a kid.

To scratch my original idea for my first science fiction book to make it better and made sense and appeal to the audiences since I had the original concept creted when I was a young teenager.
Do you outline your books, or are you more of a ‘pantser’?
I prefer to outline but my first series was written inspired by a series of music albums which I use to write the story as I went.
How do you decide which idea to pursue when you have multiple story concepts?
I put together all three and compare them and combine the best elements of all of them.
